1. General Aptitude Direction: For questions 1-8:, read the following passage given below and answer the question that follow. It is generally agreed that a number of factors affect achievement in later years and that age is by no means the sole determiner. The first of these is the original level of intelligence. Vermon gives evidence that the rate of decline is the slowest among those whose original score was high. There is therefore accentuation of individual differences. The second factor is stimulation and use of intellectual ability. A number of studies suggest a slow decline among those who make the greatest use of their intellectual ability and a more rapid decline among those who do not. It is also possible that stimulation may have physical consequences for the brain. Evidence from animal studies shows that the weight of the cerebral cortex is affected by stimulation from environment. A third factor of education and training, studies suggest that the manipulative, occupational, mental and social skills acquired through experience help to offset a decline in abilities as a result of ageing process. Other important factors connected to this process are state of health and motivation. There are a number of important implications for the trainer. Demographic graph indicates the availability of fewer younger people in the work force and an increasing dependence upon the services of older people. .There is evidence that employees in their late 40's and early 50's tend to stay with the organization much longer than those in their early 20's, that they have lower absenteeism and accident rates, often have greater spirit and reliability and may already possess useful skills. Fear of training should not therefore be used as a barrier of discriminatory factor in recruiting more mature workers. If people are at their most receptive to learning in youth and in later years draw upon their attainments, it is essential that the young are given every opportunity to learn. If those with lower cognitive ability are likely to show greater deterioration than those with average potential, it is extremely important that a broad based training is given to young people so that through vertical transfer they may find it easier to learn a variety of skills when they are older. Q. Choose the word which is most nearly the opposite in meaning of the word Accentuation as used in the passage.

(a) Mitigation o (b) Evolution o (c) Proliferation o (d) Abdication

If choice a is selected set score to 1.
